Moving to Bloomington, IN

Well, its not the West, but its closer to climbing and farther from traffic that I am now.

I will be moving in on Saturday and I am looking for people who climb outside regularly on the weekends.

I will be getting a membership to the gym also if anyone wants to meet up next week.

Cool dude! There is an awesome friendly climbing community here with lots of active climbers. I'm sure we'll be climbing together soon!

It's the best city around here and Hoosier Heights is friggen awesome!!

Go drink 1/2 yards at the Irish Lion.

Hey old friend, we're down at the Red nearly every weekend now. Hope to see you soon!

hope the culture shock doesn't hit you too hard. bloomington is a far cry from the big windy city, you can bike from one side to other in just under 10 mins and get a great cup of coffee with going to starbucks.

just remember, bloomington has a way of sinking it claws into you. i try to leave every couple of years and it keeps pulling me back in.

welcome, we'll see you at the gym

Caspian,

Michelle and I will miss you.

Good luck with the new job!

Hopefully, we can meet up and climb together in the Red.

Stay in touch, plj

I moved, but I keep going back. The claw marks are still there.

Thanks for all the kind words. It has been a great meeting and climbing with everyone.

I just have to say, after climbing with the bloomington folk for just a few weeks now...they are way cooler than the chicago people. (Exept for Cromlech...thanks for climbing with me) Glad to feel a sense of community where I am climbing.

Cheers
